Figure 17.4
-The tRNA shown in Figure 17.4 has its 3' end projecting beyond its 5' end. What will occur at this 3' end?
A)The codon and anticodon complement one another.
B)The amino acid binds covalently.
C)The excess nucleotides (ACCA)will be cleaved off at the ribosome.
D)The small and large subunits of the ribosome will attach to it.
E)The 5' cap of the mRNA will become covalently bound.

The 3' end of the tRNA has an amino acid binding site where the appropriate amino acid is attached covalently. This amino acid will subsequently be transferred to the growing polypeptide chain during translation.
